Ballard football falls to Roosevelt in overtime

The Ballard High School football team took a wet, sloppy game against Roosevelt Oct. 16 to overtime but could not get the win.

Roosevelt (1-3 conference, 2-5 overall) led 14-7 going into the fourth quarter, but Ballard sophomore Jesse Scott returned a punt 45 yards for a touchdown to force the extra period.

Roosevelt got the 21-14 win on quarterback Peter Ianelli's third touchdown pass of the game.

Senior quarterback Gardar Olafsson scored the Beavers' first touchdown of the day on a one-yard run in the second quarter.

Rain was falling steadily for most of the game and play got a bit sloppy at points. In one five-minute span in the first quarter, there were three turnovers – a Ballard fumble, a Roosevelt interception and a Ballard interception.

Ballard (1-3 conference, 1-6 overall) plays Woodinville (2-2 conference, 3-4 overall) at 7 p.m. on Oct. 23 at Memorial Stadium.

After that, it's the final game of the season Oct. 30. The Beaver opponent will be decided by the final KingCo 4A standings.
